(i) An electrostatic field line is a continuous curve. That is, a field line cannot have sudden breaks. Why not?

(ii) Explain why two field lines never cross each other at any point.

 Two point charges q_A = 3 µC and q_B= –3 µC are located 20 cm apart in a vacuum.

(i) What is the electric field at the midpoint O of the line AB joining the two charges?

(ii) If a negative test charge of magnitude 1.5 × 10^–9 C is placed at this point, what is the force experienced by the test charge?

A polythene piece rubbed with wool is found to have a negative charge of 3×10^-7C.

(i) Estimate the number of electrons transferred (from which to which?)

(ii) Is there a transfer of mass from wool to polythene?

(i) Two insulated charged copper spheres A and B have their centres
separated by a distance of 50 cm. What is the mutual force of electrostatic repulsion if the charge on each is 6.5×10−7C each? The radii of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation.

(ii) What is the force of repulsion if each sphere is charged double the above amount, and the distance between them is halved?

Suppose the spheres A and B in Exercise 12 have identical sizes. A third sphere of the same size but uncharged is brought in contact with the first, then brought in contact with the second, and finally
removed from both. What is the new force of repulsion between A and B?

The figure below shows tracks of three charged particles in a uniform electrostatic field. Give the signs of the three charges. Which particle has the highest charge to mass ratio?

Consider a uniform electric field E = 3 × 10 ³ î N/C.

(a) What is the flux of this field through a square of 10 cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the y z – plane?

(b) What is the flux through the same square if the normal to its plane makes a 60 ° angle with the x-axis?

What is the net flux of the uniform electric field of Exercise 1.15 through a cube of side 20 cm oriented so that its faces are parallel to the coordinate planes?
